SALT FREE TORTILLAS RECIPES

Steps:

• Combine the flour, vegetable oil and salt in a bowl. Pour over 150ml warm water and knead to bring the mixture together. Remove from the bowl and knead on a lightly floured work surface for around 5 mins until you make a soft, smooth ball of dough. Cover with a clean tea towel and rest for at least 15 mins before rolling out.
• Cut the dough into 6 equal pieces (about 75g each). Roll out each ball of dough as thinly as possible on a floured work surface. They should make rounds about 20 cm wide, 2mm thick.
• Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Cook the tortillas for 1-2 mins on each side until golden brown and toasted. Wrap them in foil and cover in a tea towel to keep warm, while you cook the rest. Keeps for two days well wrapped, or cool, wrap and freeze for up to three months.

Steps:

• This works great as a stand-alone recipe, but also as a component in Jamie’s Taco Party from Together – see the full collection of menus here. ON THE DAY You can’t beat the smell and taste of homemade tortillas. Measure out 700ml of boiling kettle water and let it cool for 5 minutes. Put the flour into a large bowl with a pinch of sea salt and make a well in the middle, then pour in the hot water. Use a fork to gradually mix in the flour, until it starts to come together. Bring into a smooth dough, then, once cool enough to handle, divide into six equal pieces and split each sixth into six balls, giving you 36 in total – cover with a clean damp tea towel as you go to prevent them drying out. Tear off a large sheet of greaseproof paper, fold it in half, place one ball in the middle, press down to flatten, and roll it out between the paper until about 2mm thick, then repeat the process, stacking them in sheets of greaseproof paper as you go so they don’t dry out. Cook three tortillas at a time for 1 minute on each side in a large dry hot non-stick pan on a medium heat. As they’re cooked, stack them up in a clean tea towel so they stay warm until you’re ready to tuck in. Delicious served with Slow-cooked pork belly.
